What are the new facilities at Gorakhpur Cantt Station?
The project includes the construction of a grand second entry gate, a new platform, and a station building. To support this, 7,790 square meters of land has been acquired from the Gorkha Recruitment Depot (GRD) in front of the Army Public School. A new 700-meter long road, 40 feet wide, will be built to connect the crossing to the station, along with waiting rooms for passengers.
How will this project benefit the local passengers?
Currently, passengers face heavy traffic and the risk of missing trains due to the railway crossing. The new entry gate will allow direct access to the station, making it a mini version of Gorakhpur Junction. Additionally, a separate ‘Y’ shaped two-lane overbridge is being built at the 157 A Special crossing with a budget of 53 crore rupees, which will benefit residents of areas like Jharna Tola and Gayatri Nagar.
